Banding set for August 27!!

I got my first fill at 4 weeks. It was 1cc in a 4cc band. I soon realized it was too tight. I couldn't even have apple sauce without it getting stuck. My doc is in the process of moving to Chicago, so I had to wait almost a week to get an unfill. Misearble week! On Monday, she took out .25cc. It's better. I still can't eat eggs. I don't feel I'm ready for all foods. Either I'm still too tight, or I'm just not chewing enough. I'm not going for another unfill though. I'll just be careful and hope it loosens up as I lose weight.

The good news is that I'm down 40 pounds including what I lost on 4 weeks pre-op. Also, I have been able to stop taking my Blood Pressure medicine! I was on two different BP meds at times! Yeah Me!!!

How's everyone doing?

I go for my 6 week check-up tomorrow. They said the doctor would talk to me about a fill but since I'm going on vacation in less than 2 weeks I would have to wait until I get back. That will put me sometime in Nov.

Are most of you starting to get fills soon?

I get my second fill today.........not sure what he'll fill to. I have 1cc in now. I am a little nervous about having to go back to sipping water. I'm also traveling in a couple of weeks so I wanted to make sure I was adjusted to the new fill.
